Prison officials spy on political prisoners even in bathroom and showers with security cameras
Evin Prison officials control the actions of political prisoners and prisoners of conscience in cellblock 350 with security cameras on a 24 hour basis. According to reports, the Tehran Prosecutor and a number of security officials go to Evin Prison on certain days and sit watch prisoners from the security cameral control room for hours.
According to reports from Evin Prison, these cameras have been installed in all the rooms, hallways and even restrooms and showers of cellblock 350.
By watching prisoners with these cameras prison officials have prevented prisoners from gathering in groups of more than two and have even sent prisoners to solitary over this issue. Prisoners are not even allowed to sit next to each other in prison.
The head of this cellblock, Bozorg Nia constantly calls on prisoners and threatens them that the head of prison, Sedaqat, and the Tehran Prosecutor, Jafari Dolat Abadi, are directly watching their behavior and have called him in this regard to warn them. (Kalameh Website – Sep. 19, 2010)

شرايط زندان
جاسوسي در بند ۳۵۰ زندان اوين با دوربين هاي مداربسته
مسوولان زندان اوين در حال حاضر با نصب دوربين هاي مدار بسته در بند ۳۵۰ حرکات و رفتارهاي زندانيان سياسي-عقيدتي اين بند را به طور ۲۴ ساعته تحت کنترل مقامات امنيتي و قضايي قرار داده اند.گفته مي شود دادستان تهران و برخي از مسوولان امنيتي در روزهايي که به اوين مي روند چندين ساعت در اتاق هاي مديريت اين دوربين ها مي نشينند و رفتارهاي زندانيان سياسي را رصد مي کنند.
براساس گزارش هاي رسيده از زندان اوين به کلمه، اين دوربين ها در تمام اتاق ها، راهروها و حتي توالت ها و حمام هاي بند ۳۵۰ نصب شده اند.
مسوولان زندان با استفاده ار اين دوربين هاي مدار بسته از جمع شدن زندانيان در گروه هاي چندنفره جلوگيري کرده و حتي چندبار تعدادي از آنها را به زندان انفرادي فرستاده اند که چرا دور هم جمع شده بوديد. در واقع حتي اين زندانيان قادر نيستند در زندان نيز کنار هم بنشينند.
بزرگ نيا مسئول بند ۳۵۰ مرتب زندانيان را فرا مي خواند و آنها را تهديد مي کند که هم اکنون صداقت رئيس زندان اوين و جعفري دولت آبادي دادستان تهران به طور مستقيم در حال مشاهده رفتارتان هستند و با من در اين مورد خاص تماس گرفته اند که به شما تذکر بدهم. (كلمه – 28/6/89)

سيامک قادري که حدود ۱۸ سال به عنوان دبير، خبرنگار، گزارشنويس براي ايرنا به طور رسمي کار ميکرد، با فشار مدير عامل اين خبرگزاري و هجوم نيروهاي امنيتي به منزلاش در حالي که تنها در حال استراحت بود دستگير شد و از همان ابتدا به زندان انفرادي منتقل شد.

http://www.rahana.org/archives/25890

به گزارش جرس، خانواده وي ماهها بعد از دستگيري وي، ازسلامتي و وضعيت وي خبر نداشتند تا اينکه محاکمه علني از طريق تلويزيون پخش شد .
وي به اتهام “حضور در راهپيمايي” و “اخلال در امنيت ملي” و “سنگ پراني به مامورين”، به ۴٢ ماه حبس محکوم شده و در حال گذارندن ايام محکوميت خويش است و در اين مدت حتي براي يک روز هم به مرخصي نيامده است.
اخيرا دادستاني تهران براي تحت فشار گداشتن زندانيان و خانواده هايشان وثيقه هاي کلاني را براي آزادي و يا به مرخصي رفتن زندانيان طلب مي کند، از جمله براي مرخصي مهدي فتاح بخش،۴۰۰ ميليون تومان وثيقه طلب است که با پيگيري هاي خانواده و اعلام اينکه استطاعت پرداخت ندارند، اين مبلغ به ٣۰۰ ميليون تومان کاهش پيداکرده است، اما خانواده وي به دليل وضعيت بد مالي و نيز نداشتن ملک شخصي، از تامين هرگونه وثيقه اي عاجز هستند.
اين زنداني سياسي جوان، هم اکنون از وضعيت جسمي مساعدي در زندان برخوردار نيست و تا کنون در زندان دوبار با در رفتگي مچ پا و کتف مواجه شده است که هر دوبار زندان از درمان او خودداري کرد و نداشتن مداواي درست، باعث گرديده تا او در حين راه رفتن دچار مشکل باشد. (رهانا – 31/6/89)
